Stepping Up

As we close 2020, it's overwhelming how our lives have been altered through the year by COVID. Our students and educators have struggled to navigate their way through these unchartered waters. STEP has been able to find creative ways to support career awareness/preparation with even greater impact through launching #workHERE mini-grants this fall. THANK YOU to our partners and donors.

However...

our students and educators of the Twin Counties still need you! They need the support of their community! They need to see there is hope and opportunities in their future.

Please consider an end of the year donation to support the mission of STEP:

promoting career awareness of the Twin Counties

facilitating employer and education partnerships

expanding work-based learning experiences

creating seamless pathways & industry recognized credentials.

Best,

Pamela K. Gould

Executive Director

Give 20 in 2020!!
